During her early years in England Mona played soccer, tennis and field hockey. Right up to her death she enjoyed watching sports of any kind. She bowled during the winters and golfed through the summers. Mona worked at K-Mart on Cavalier for over 25 years. She always enjoyed travelling with her husband to Europe, Mexico, Caribbean and especially to England to visit and see her family and friends. Upon her and her husband's retirement a terrific trip was taken to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Hawaii.

She had a wonderful spirit and great strength that helped her make and keep many friends.
